I'm a level 4 gymnast. I practice with levels 4 and up. I am the oldest by around 3 years. I'm in a small gym and have always had issues with getting along with teammates. However this year has been the worst. Someday I want to quit or switch gyms. We have one other gym near us but it's not very...
One of my dd's teammates has a small fracture in her heel. She trained and competed on it for 5 weeks (wrapped and in some pain, but not realizing it was actually a fracture) before an MRI finally identified it. She was told boot and crutches for 3 weeks, but her recheck just happened and they...
Today at practice, a few teammates were arguing over something, and it just got worse and worse. One of my teammates brought me by mimicking me. I was cheering her on while we were working on beam skills, and she started mocking me. I'm not trying not to sound like a complainer (I'm not), but I...
Tomorrow is my teammate's last competition since she is graduating, and she is DEVASTATED. She isn't ready to quit at all, and spent yesterday- her last practice before Provs- bawling.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help her? I'm really at a loss and feel awful for her.
Every year I get all my teammates bendable flowers, the big ones that feel like stuffed animals. Well I can't find them anywhere this year! So I need new ideas, preferably small, I don't wanna have to spend a ton of money. There are 12 other girls besides me in optionals, but I would like to get...
DD is by far the youngest on the team and desperately wanted her "friends" to come over. When I explained the age gap(and that we live about 20 minutes away and they all live very close to the gym) she came up with the great idea of a haunted house. But still, no one was getting back to me...
So me and one other teammate of mine are going to flipfest (week 2) and I would love to bond with her. I feel were really close already but as she's moving up I want her to know it's ok to come talk to me about anything she may need to, and by the way she's 10. Also any ideas of stuff we could...
On my team there is this one girl who never works hard, complains about everything, and threatens to quit on a daily biases. Well last night we were on vault working vaults up to a mat and my coach told us to add one, and well she didn't like that idea. She told our coach she couldn't do it and...
Last night we had a midnighter for team at the gym. It was supposed to be a fun night, but it didn't turn out that way for my teammate. Me and Zoe were working on our piroettes on bars, and when she went for hers she leaned over way too far and slipped off the bar. She reached her hands out in...
I was just looking for other people's opinions. Do you think an injured teammated should be invited to a celebration for a victory that she did not contribute to because she was injured at the time? Should it be up to the girls who did compete?
Hi. One of DDs teammates broke her arm at gym last week and will be out for 4-5 months. (It is bad, jump to high bar gone wrong) My DD wants to make her a little care package, but I am not sure what to put in it?
Ideas? She will be home from school for a week and then won't be back at...
